    This game is terrible because it lacks upgrades required to improve from one year to the next. It is a waste of money and I hope they fix this for next years game, can't believe I'm saying that already.

    I don't so much mind that it looks almost identical to M25, the issue I have is that every single time that I try to look at the statistics after a game, it freezes to the point I have to shut down and everything is LOST! So bloody frustrating!
    If I avoid going to that screen, it's fine otherwise, but I LOVE seeing stats after the game and I cannot! :(

    This game is a rip off every year I get it...I was excited when I heard that ea improved the defensive gameplay..However its the exact same!!! The defensive adjustments rarely work....Since its so easy to drive down the field and score, most online games come down to who has the ball last..Scoring an 80 yard TD run might make u lose the game b/c you left 2 minutes for your opponent toThis game is a rip off every year I get it...I was excited when I heard that ea improved the defensive gameplay..However its the exact same!!!

These would be alright if the games were longer and if defences weren't so easy to score on,,,This game is just flat out boring...… Expand

    This game is near identical to MADDEN 25. The only difference is really the "cone". As a big supporter of Madden I'm very disappointed. I have told all my friends and they are not purchasing it this year. Unfortunately I made the mistake of paying the ridiculous $60 dollars for a roster update. The fact that they think its ok to release this TRASH is unbelievable.

    I just got this game as I was so excited, but it is NEARLY THE SAME EXACT THING as madden 25. What is different? Well i haven't played too much, but i know that a bit of connected franchise, gauntlet mode, camera views, different plays, and where it shows you how to aim the kick. THAT IS IT. I do not recommend getting it for xbox 360 however if you get it for xbox one, i have heard it isI just got this game as I was so excited, but it is NEARLY THE SAME EXACT THING as madden 25.

    The more Madden 15 is played on the Gen. 3 consoles, the more the player realizes it's a big slap in the face to loyal consumers from EA Sports. Perhaps the only reason EA Sports releases games on last-gen. consoles is simply to sell more copies because Madden 15 on 360 is by far the most disappointing installment of the esteemed, and often acclaimed, game franchise.
    Where do I begin?    The more Madden 15 is played on the Gen. 3 consoles, the more the player realizes it's a big slap in the face to loyal consumers from EA Sports. Perhaps the only reason EA Sports releases games on last-gen. consoles is simply to sell more copies because Madden 15 on 360 is by far the most disappointing installment of the esteemed, and often acclaimed, game franchise.
    Where do I begin?
    Unlike some, I prefer career modes and franchise modes over Ultimate Team any day so I'll start there.
    To get an idea of the Connected Career Mode (CCM) on Madden 15, pull out your copy of Madden 25, and, voila! You have Madden 15's CCM! If you were expecting even small additions, such as a new city to relocate to, or a new legend to play as, or even new uniforms for relocated teams, then like me, you'll be disappointed. The only change made to CCM was taking out pre-made draft classes. It seems to make sense because often in CCM Online in Madden 25, players found out who the gems were, and ended up taking projected 5th rounders in the 1st round, but now with computer generated names, generic story lines and unfortunately dull Adam Schefter commentary, the game is, well, that. It's a game. The aspect of unique characters and story lines made drafting an experience, now what a move that was to enhance the game, only hurt it more.
    Now the game play.
    No one buying this for 360 and PS3 will expect a graphics improvement, they're older systems, as with the game play, but when EA Sports says they improved the defensive A.I., one expects that they did, but they just really didn't at all. Still defenders just freeze on the field while the player's receiver is running his slant route, said receiver is stalled by the statue-like defender, no flag.
    If the player doesn't feel disrespected and hurt by EA Sports, they didn't even bother to update the commentary. When playing a game involving the St. Louis Rams, Phil Simms will say (not a direct quote but the gist) "Remember, the Rams lost one, and tied one against the NFC Champion San Francisco 49ers last year."
    Except, they didn't Phil. That's the commentary from Madden 25. In fact, the Rams lost both 2013 match-ups against the 49ers by a combined score of 58-24 and obviously, it's interesting Madden 15's commentary declares the 49ers defending NFC Champions when the NFC Champs and Super Bowl Champs were the Seattle Seahawks.
    The only salvageable piece of this installment is that Madden Ultimate Team (MUT) is vastly improved with more chances to earn coins, cards and new players don't feel as much at a disadvantage.
    It's a little hurtful honestly, No one had high expectations for an installment on an inferior system, but it's like EA Sports didn't even try most aspects to improve on Madden 25 and instead, just copied and pasted, even those with the mildest of expectations will be disappointed in by far, the worst Madden on X-Box 360.    … Expand

    This is really becoming a problem for 360 users. 360 versions on cross-generation games are getting neglected severely, and are still being released for $50-60. Major reviewers aren't reviewing the 360 versions of games either, which is quite disingenuous. See Forza Horizon 2 on the 360.

    Do not buy this game. It does not come with a manual and one cannot be found online. Instructions inside the game are terrible and don't work. Not sure who worked on this game but they should be fired.
